THE PAVILION.
A Magnificent Display of SOUTH
ern California Products.

The rain which had been falling
steadily for over an hour was certainly
not an auspicious adjunct to tho open
ing OF the Eighth Annual Fair last
night, and the inclement state Of the
weather doubtless prevented the
large attendance which was expected
at the opening ceremonies. Those
who faced the storm however were
amply repaid for their enterprise, for
the scene inside the Pavilion was one
which appealed to the senses for adj
miration. On long low tables, fruits
culled from the garden of Southern
California met the eye in every direc-
ton while the centre display of the
Fredericksburg Lager Beer Company
was very fine and effective piece OF
workmanship. A walk within the
mammoth building showed that the
exhibits had been carefully selected
and some of the displays rebound
with great credit to the districts from
which they were forwarded. One of
the principal exhibits is that made by
Westminster and the fruit and vegeta-
bles carefully labeled Raised with
out irrigation" are certainly very fine
specimens OF their various kinds.
There is a handsome showing OF
,crockery, linen, and flowers, and
the stage is occupied with
a eplendid array of furniture.
About s o'clock Meine's band arrived,
and from that time onward sweet
music was discoursed to the edifica-
ton OF all present, and greatly added
to the pleasure of the visitors. In the
gallery, ice cream and light refresh
ments could be obtained, this depart
ment being under the management of
the friends OF the Orphans Home, to
which institution the profits obtained
will accrue. The Pavilion itself has
been thoroughly cleansed for the occa-
sion, and is admirably suited to the
requirements of the association. Seen
from one of the galleries the
scene below was very striking
one, and reflects great credit on
Mr.. Carey, who has had charge of
and managed the whole affair, aided
by a s.aff OF able and untiring assist
ants. Some of the stalls are not yet
occupied, owing to delays in getting
the exhibits on the spot, but every
thing will be adjusted this morning,
and those who may chance to visit
the building will find that they have
been amply rewarded. Owing to the
fact that the arrangements were not
completed at the time of the report
er's visit, it is impossible to furnish a
complete record of the articles on ex-
hibition, in this issue, and the follow
ing is but partial list OF the entries
made and now displayed.
